Did purees with DS1, BLW with DS2 (apart from breakfast!).
Much prefer BLW, for ...
Being able to cook 1 meal for both DSs and at weekends, for all four of us (I can spend my time making sure we all eat something nutritious, rather than spending time pureeing, freezing and putting food in ice-cube trays!)
Being able to just put food in front of him and be able to eat myself
It's fab to see him munch away on brocolli stalks, shove spaghetti bolognese in his mouth, eat casseroles and mashed potato with gusto!
BUT ...
It is very very messy - I have to brush the floor after every meal and pretty much have to change his clothes too!
The first 1-2 months can be stressful if you let them be. They don't eat much initially and that in itself can be stressful (even though they don't need food at that age). That said, at 8 months, he now eats pretty much everything. I did tailor a bit of what we ate. For example, he wasn't and still isn't very good at grilled/stir fried meat, so I make sure we have a casserole 1 or 2 times a week (which he manages) and we eat more fish.
It is also quite wasteful and I hate seeing the food sat on the floor!
If we go for DC3 in the future, I'd do BLW again. At nearly 9 months, it feels like he has 'got it' now. If we had gone down the puree route, I'd still be trying to mash food up a bit, be wary with giving him different foods. We've always given him what we've eaten, now he eats it as well, indeed better than his older brother!
Enjoy the fun!
